I upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and need to be able to import using TWAIN so that I can scan at 256 colors like I used to be able to with CS3. I cannot convert to 256 colors afterwards as the quality is too poor.
I am using 64 bit Windows 7. I tried installing the TWAIN plugin in the Adobe/plugins/import folder but it does not show up in the import options after restarting PS. I wouldn't mind downgrading to PS3 if I have to.
I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.
Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
I have a card 7.5 x 5 .5. I would like to scan it and use it as my desktop wallpaper for the season. I have 2 Dell u2711 monitors at a resolution of 2560 x 1440. However, when I scan I get a terrible image when I attempt to set it as by background in Windows 7 Professional. how to do this. I have Lr 4 and CS 5.
I had to scan and resize. Original, physical picture is 1 1/4in X 2in. Scanned image requirements: resolution of at least 150 dpi, 600 X 600 pixels, 24 bit color, and keep it under 240 KB. I have basic Canon scanner and CS2....
way to make a text animation in Image Ready. I'd like to have white or bright green text against a black background and have it display as if it was being scanned over. One wide stripe moving right to left exposing the text underneath then moving back, never exposing the whole word at once, just a section. I had thought I could make a black layer over the top of the text, clear away a scection and manually move the layer in IR, but to no avail. Sorry I don't have a visual example of it for you.
I need to find a photo that I scanned a year ago. It was scanned with a simple HP desktop scanner. I used photoshop CS to work with this photo, now I have photoshop CS2. When I try to open this image, it says that it doesn't recognize the format. The CS2 can't open it. I tried reinstalling the old photoshop and when I try to open this image, it isn't highlighted to open.
If the photo has scan lines, then it has scan lines. the lines are now a part of the photo. they're not 'on the photo' they're in it. depending on how pronounced they are, they can be minimized. if you post a copy, I'll show you how. (maybe, no guarantee it can be saved)
The colors of pictures is much darker when working in photoshop than when I open it normally. And vice versa, I work on images inside photoshop, and I get the colors I want, but once I save it to bmp or jpg or anything else, all the colors are much lighter.
I have an hp Photo smart C6380 all in one that I use for scanning. In Photoshop CS4, I just choose File, Import, then choose the TWAIN option. But in CS5, the TWAIN option is not available. How do I add this in CS5? (I am working on a Windows XP machine.)
I was wondering how to select a photo from a scan. I used the various selection tools and then copied and pasted the photo into a new Photoshop document and the scan appears striated and strange. Is there something I'm doing incorrectly?
a grayscale scan of a line drawing with small text. The lines and text, which should be black, are gray. And the background, which should be white, is a light gray.
The lines should be 100% black, but I'll take what I can get. I fiddled with curves and contrast and stuff, but when I'd get the background adjusted so it was completely white, then the lines weren't dark enough.
And of course converting to a bi-level bitmap made the lines and text all pixelly
this will be offset printed, so it needs to be high resolution.
I recently downloaded Publisher and just now went to scan in a pic through Photoshop and discovered that my options in importing are limited to Annotations and WIA support. I tried to scan in through Picassa and it said that the scanner has been taken over by another program. I can only assume that it's Publisher. So, short of uninstalling Publisher,
I figure this effect should be a simple one, but I just don't get how they did it. The reason I came in here is actually that I can't seem to find out the name of the effect, so it makes it pretty impossible to search for it.
The effect I talk about is kind of like when you scan a picture from a magazine and you get the picture with all those tiny circles and lo-fi points in yellow, red, green and blue.
I scanned in some text and I want to create a vector of it. There should be a way to do this automatically...
After touchup, the text is pretty much black + white and almost solid.
Theres slight color artifacts in the background and the text isnt quite 100% solid... but theyre really close enough.
Anyways, how could I transform the text to solid vector format? Ideally I want to make it a font. It should be polygonal, straight and flat sides, etc. Any ideas?
I'd just like to disable eveything except for the scanner software I actually use so I can just go to File > Import > and quickly click on the option I actually use to scan things in without thinking which one it is.�Other options I almost never use, is there any way to disable them from showing up in the File > Import menu?
